Shepparton Race 3 - Hygain Pace

REALLY SMARTIE (7) has not raced for four months. Looks forward enough for this return after winning in a recent trial. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw but is sure to prove hard to beat on his return. HOME AND DRY NZ (8) finished second last start over 1690m at this track, beaten 4 metres. That was an improvement on the unplaced effort at Cranbourne the run before. No harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon and rates a big chance if he is at his best. WHATA OPTIMIST (11) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1800m at Globe Derby Park last time out. Top-three aspirations. BINALONG BAY (5) is better than his last-start 11th over 2090m at Hobart. Worth another chance.

Didn't do much last start, surrendered the lead and finished 8th (Fr2) over 1690m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 60 m by Calivil (2:03.30) in NR 40 to 46 on February 10 at $61. Before that 9th (Sr2) over 1690m at this track beaten 30 m by Highview Hammer (2:02.80) in NR 39 to 44 on January 20 at $14. This will be too tough.

Last start 8th (Sr1) over 1800m at Globe Derby Park beaten 35 m by Rolling Remona (2:14.00) in NR up to 39 on February 10 at $6.50. At his previous start solid effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Sr4) over 1800m after racing wide at Globe Derby Park, at the bell was 7th-13.2 beaten 15 m by Trigger (2:12.70) in NR up to 40 on February 2 at $5.50. Better than the last run and is a leading chance.

Last start was well back in the run when 4th (Fr5) over 1800m at Globe Derby Park was 6th-8.6 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Hey Goyougoodthing (2:14.30) in NR 45 to 50 on February 10 at $2.50. Before that, a game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr5) over 1800m at Globe Derby Park was 6th-13.1 at the bell, beaten 4.5 m by Narobi (2:10.90) in NR 44 to 49 on February 7 at $26. Should be in the finish again.
